Hi, I'm Dr. Tony Evans, and I'm excited for you to join me on Heroes in the Bible.

Please be sure to follow the podcast on Apple or Spotify so you get the newest episodes right as they come out.

Welcome to the epic adventure of David, a story of honor, battle, jealousy, darkness, friendship, love, scandal, and murder. While most people know of David

the myth, few know about David the man. This episode begins with bloodshed and a gruesome scene

that will test the strength of your stomach. Everybody in the kingdom is reminded that David

is not a typical king caught up in pettiness and feuds.

He is a man of honor, and a few characters will learn that the hard way.

The episode ends with David's greatest victory since Goliath. As the landscape of David's

life changes and the dynamic of the throne becomes more complicated, it is nice to be reminded

that he is still the David

we know and love. We are reminded of David's integrity, steadfastness, and wit.

If you have followed David's story until this point, that means you are invested in his life.

You've been rooting for him and hoping he steps into his calling. Hopefully, this episode

gives you a brief moment of pure satisfaction. These next few episodes are a gift and a well-deserved

break from heartache. We get to see David as the noble king he was promised to be. We will

follow him through victories, triumphs, concerts of praise,

and a new life. Enjoy these moments. Soak them in and glorify God for his goodness. But be cautious

and tread lightly. Remember, David is not the true hero. Jesus is. Even the giant slayer

can circumcum to darkness. But that is a topic for another time. First, a

prelude to a simpler time in David's life, a time by the fire with his good friend Jonathan.

Let's step into the light with episode 21, united and prepared. This is an I-Heart podcast.
